To all whom it may concern: l

Be it known that I, DIAMoND Zansms, `a subject ofthe King. of Greece, residing at-A Susquehanna, in the count of Susquehanna `and State of Pennsylvama, have invented new and useful Improvements in D1splay' Stands, of which, the V,following isa specilication.

This invention relates'to display stands andA more especially vto stands'l for the display of small articles such as candy, etc., and which is adapted to occupy a small amount of space and at the same time 'display a great variety of the Aarticles to ',beexl hibited,1as"wil1 be more fully vdescribed vin' ,the following specification, setforth the claims and v.illustrated Ythe* drawings,

wherein, f Figure 1 is a Aperspective vlew 'of the stan -Fig. 2 isga cross-.sectional @view through same. Fig. 3i's a'viewA of the section of the stand.

The device is adapted to be madeofslieet metal or card board and'is formed of four;

sides 5, 6, 7 and'8, but it is obvious that/the stand may be" formed in a square or any other shape that may be desired. Eachr side consists lpf a series .of steps having Hat sur-A faces 9, upon which thevgoodsare displayed,

while substantially incline members 10 con# nect the Hat surfaces and form a vcontinuation ofthe sheet metall or card board.' The upper end of each section consists of-a vertlcal member 11, while the lower end termi nates in the horizontal strip 12 ,andon the inner side of each sect-ionis a 'wall 131130 which the section is secured byfwhich it is braced and strengthened and iseither pasted or soldered to same as may' be `found vneces--y sary. The upper end of the wall'13 is formed with a vertical portion 14, while'the'lower end is provided with the'horizontalr portion.`

15 and the end of leach section beveled .so

that they maybe assembledjas shown in Fig. 1.

,After the together, and while the'vends of the'cap'are shown as being open, it is obvious that they .the stand.

without departing, from vsections are assembled,` a piece or cap 16 is placed thereon and'its'- sides 17 hold the upper ends of the section" maybe closed in v'order to prevent the dislocation of the end sections 6and 8.

The' lower .part of the stand is held togetherl by means of a trayg18, having the side danges 19 linto which the sections fit andare-substantially held together.l Run- 'ning' through the side sections 5 and 7 are pegs 20,'which support la tray .21 on the inside of the stand and serve to strengthen and bracev same,.while it may be at the same time used as [a means vfor holding` an extra; supply Yof the articles to [be exhiliited'a-nd'Y by simply removing one of theend sections,

,access maybe given to this tray which may relieved of' its supply vtobedrawn out and replacegarticles removedv from the outside of v -i stand may readilytaken down for shipment 'and may be easily set up for use.-

f It is obvious'- that it maybe modified and its parts otherwise constructed or' arranged tures above described. l
